I think the new launcher should just have capabilities for 'modding' your files, like most mod managers where you click on and off stuff anyway.

If it were up to me, I'd honestly hand go over any 'visual upgrades' to ensure consistency rather than shoving it in. Because majority of these are actually a downgrade and do not properly represent the regions. But would love an option for seamless modding rather than hand picking files.

Or just do this.

I vehemently protest the idea of shoving in a pack because bigger textures == quality as a concept is ridiculous.

They are inconsistent. They will pose a problem with the nebulae texture. A lot of the voroni appreciation content in it doesn't exactly represent some of the regions properly. Too definitive background elements can create visual noise and become a bit too distracting. Also some of the colours being adjusted honestly does mess with the vibe.

If we are to do visual overhauls, I'd rather have us do it by hand with vanilla comparison to ensure we properly get the aesthetic and dont do any wild deviations, especially in the colour grading.
